Mathias Farm 'Cross Cancelled - OntarioCourtesy SCCC

We at the SCCC regret to inform that the Mathias Farm Cyclocross race scheduled for this weekend (November 2nd) will have to be cancelled. Permission to access the farm was delayed and ultimately refused due to family committments. At this late date it would be impossible to find an alternative course due to permissions and insurance. Of note - this race was initally not a SCCC event and was picked up and revived, almost. We will endeavour to put it back on in 2004.
